I think, at least for now, you can keep on dreaming. Last September at the ECTS (gaming trade show) in London, I talked to an N'Vidia representative who told me that: 1) NVidia will never release sources to their drivers 2) They don't have any plans to make Linux/PPC drivers That was last September, I don't think they've changed their minds since.
